Ich hätte für meinen geplanten Test Gaming PC auf #Linux Basis auch ganz gerne die RX 9700 mit 32GB VRAM.
Insofern hoffe ich dass die AI Pro R9700 auch bald im deutschen DIY Markt ankommt.

Einfach um in der Hinsicht wie auch bei meinem Haupt Gaming PC absolut zukunftsicher aufgestellt zu sein.

Fedora Linux 43 branched and is on a pretty good path to release this October :fedora: :yayblob:

- LLVM 21, Perl 5.42, Go 1.25
- Zstd initrd
- Intel TDX confidential VM host support
- Kernel > 6.15, GNOME 49 (possibly Wayland-only)

Fedora 43 promises to be a substantial upgrade, with rich improvements across developer tooling, performance, security, virtualization, and graphical experience.

Da ich nun mit #Prey2017 durch bin, ist Control an der Reihe. Sind 5 Screenshots, Mastodon-Nutzer*innen müssen ggf. den Originalbeitrag aufrufen, um alle zu sehen.

Ich mag besonders die Spiegelungen. Nachdem wir Ende der 90er/Anfang der 2000er bereits realistische Spiegelungen hatten, gab es einige Jahre lang nur pixelige Matsche oder irgendwie den Lichtquellen zuzuordnendes Schimmern auf reflektierenden Oberflächen. Schön zu sehen, dass es auch noch anders geht.

If following me for the last couple of days on the "I'm reinstalling my system from scratch and tidying up 31+ years of configuration mess at least a little" and running face-first into all the idiosyncrasies of a "modern" #Linux desktop OoB experience has made you question my career choices, ...

Honestly?

Same.

Bootable Containers
Wenn das #Betriebssystem aus dem #Container kommt, Beitrag von @Tronde, auf der @FrOSCon

Einführung in Bootable Containers mit einem Überblick über die Lebenszyklusstufen Build, Deploy, and Manage und die wesentlichen Merkmale inkl. einer Gegenüberstellung mit der paketbasierten Bereitstellung.

Bootable Containers beschreibt eine Methode um imagebasierte (immutable) Linux-Systeme zu definieren, zu deployen und zu verwalten.

Simulating analog (🧵 )

I think it was the #Roland #SH101 #synthesizer I had owned once that could do a quite fancy #SquareWave sound. It was hollow as hell, but powerful, too. At least I remember it this way.

Year 2025. Now enter #vcvRack – wondering once again, why software instruments just don't sound analog to me and don't feel “right” to me… there's one obvious thing: Digital is too perfect.

So I bought #vcvHost, which allows you to patch #VST plugins into your virtual #modular. I then inserted a #TapeSaturation plugin by #Voxengo right after the oscillator. (This is a Windows VST which I run via #LinVST, it does work in #VCV on #Linux!)

Does it sound more analog? Not sure. Do I like the sound more? For sure.

Also note this patch is using the #Doepfer #Wasp #VCF, which I consider a decent emulation of an analog filter. (The patch otherwise is a classic mono synth plus chorus, delay, reverb and LFO amplitude controlled via mod wheel.)

An important message.

TL;DR: Check out <fightchatcontrol.eu>, contact your government representatives and share it with everyone you know.

The European Union (EU) is close to passing a Chat Control bill which would mandate the scanning of **all** end-to-end encrypted messages. This would mean the government and police can read **everything** you ever send to **anyone** regardless of where you send it and to who.

You can learn more about how to fight against it here: <fightchatcontrol.eu> and you can learn more about the bill here: <patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/cha> and here: <youtube.com/watch?v=3NyUgv6dpJc>

Even if you are not an EU Citizen please share this with your friends and family who may live there, if the EU can pass this it means your country can too, so we must stop chat control laws being passed anywhere to protect not just other's privacy but our own privacy.

If your representative or government supports it **do not give up**, contact them showing your opposition. Enough people fighting will make a change. Share this with everyone you can, friends, family, neighbours. **Our privacy depends on it.**

With the coming end of support of #Windows10 I would like to hear from people who recently (say < 3 years ago) moved from Windows (or MacOS) to Linux:
.1. which Linux distribution did you settle on?
.2. which are the main problems that you had "transitioning"?
.3. are you planning to keep using Linux for now?
.4. What are you missing in Linux that you had with your former OS?
.5. If you tried but did not keep using it - why?
